THE PENGUIN ENGLISH LIBRARY TO THE LIGHTHOUSE...

'The Lighthouse was then a silvery  misty-looking tower with a yellow eye that opened suddenly
and softly in the evening' To the Lighthouse is at once a vivid impressionistic depiction of a
family holiday  and a meditation on marriage  on parenthood and childhood  on grief  tyranny
and bitterness. For years now the Ramsays have spent every summer in their holiday home in
Scotland  and they expect these summers will go on forever  but as the First World War looms 
the integrity of family and society will be fatally challenged. With a psychologically
introspective mode  the use of memory  reminiscence and shifting perspectives gives the novel
an intimate  poetic essence  and at the time of publication in 1927 it represented an utter
rejection of Victorian and Edwardian literary values. The Penguin English Library - collectable
general readers' editions of the best fiction in English  from the eighteenth century to the
end of the Second World War.
